Camanchaca

By Megan McDowell, Diego Zúñiga, Aamna Qureshi

Book Overview

On a long, near-silent drive with his father, a young man surveys the "worn-out puzzle" of his broken family.

A long drive across Chile's Atacama desert, traversing "the worn-out puzzle" of a broken family--a young man's corrosive intimacy with his mother, the obtrusive cheer of his absentee father, his uncle's unexplained death. Camanchaca is a low fog pushing in from the sea, its moisture sustaining near-barren landscape. Sometimes, the silences are what bind us.
